A hidden gem for brides on a budget! 🎉
If you're looking for a beautiful bridal outfit without the designer price tag, I can't recommend the Red Cross Bridal Shop in Stockbridge highly enough.
I was there recently with a client who had a strict budget, and the experience exceeded both of our expectations. As I already knew her colours, style, and body shape, we arrived with a clear plan.
The bridal shop had an incredible selection of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, veils and tiaras, boleros, bridal shoes and more! And, plenty of designer dresses, some that have never even been worn.
We had a two-hour appointment with a dedicated stylist, who was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, patient, and brilliant at selecting dresses that suited my client's style and preferences, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.
In the end, my client chose a stunning evening-style dress for just £17.50. After some alterations at the tailors just down the road (£100), it became her perfect wedding dress.
And that's the key point... who says it has to be a traditional wedding dress? The perfect dress is the one that makes you feel amazing.
Very few dresses fit perfectly straight off the rail, whatever your budget. A few alterations can transform a beautiful dress into one that looks as though it was made just for you.
If you're planning your wedding and want to make your budget go further without compromising on style, I would definitely recommend checking out the Bridal shop first!
